Telerik's new stuff is pretty sweet, check out the ONLINE DEMO of their new ASP.NET AJAX suite. RadGrid handles sorting, filtering, and paging of hundreds of thousands of records in milliseconds, and the RadEditor loads up to 4 times faster and the navigation controls now support binding to web services on the client.

As I've said before this show comes to you with the audio expertise and stewardship of Carl Franklin. The name comes from Travis Illig, but the goal of the show is simple. Avoid wasting the listener's time. (and make the commute less boring)

Although just coded this week, it is worth including a link to Ayende's NMemcached implementation: http://www.ayende.com/Blog/archive/2008/06/06/Scratching-an-itch-NMemcached.aspx . This is a memcached server written completely in managed code (wrapper around System.Web.Caching).

With all the new stuff coming up - SSDS, Velocity I'm really starting to wonder if this is the end of the database as we know it? Will the database become less relevant and just a backup mechanism for in memory objects or feeds? Is Prevalayer the future?What if Flash based memory as mentioned in the podcast might totally change the game, maybe B-trees are no longer the appropriate?

Velocity is a cool name for this product - but did anyone ask the current maintainers of the Velocity and NVelocity view engine how they feel about the name ambiguity? Especially as it will swamp Google search results.

I think "Velocity" is just a codename. The actual product name will turn out to be something like Microsoft Distributed Caching Engine Via Super Fancy Clustering Suite Version 4 or MDCEVSFCS V4 for short (which of course will require .Net 3.0 or higher).
